Chinese font and output

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I began to use quickpdf 717 demo version two days ago, and I use Simple Chinese Character in many cases. Since I'm not too falimily with quick pdf library, so although many FONT relative topics in the reference are mentioned, like CJK and truetype font, But I failed after tried many ways.
So, could somebody kindly enough to tell me how to output Simple Chinese Character use QuickPDF.

Thanks in advance.

	The pdf specifications don't allow unicoded string. The idea is to load in the the pdf a subset of the unicode font. This subset can contain 255 characters at the maximum. You can use AddSubsettedFont for that purpose. When you want to draw a text whit this font, use GetSubsetString(Text) instead of the text itself Edited by DELBEKE - 03 Jan 10 at 12:27PM

	I tried to use AddSubsettedFont/GetSubsetString function, but that didn't work correctly. Chinese characters is display squares.

	Hi Manuel! My knowledge in this kind isn't very special. The described problem has to do with the unicode-transformation, ansistrings, utf-8, ... In a string you can't insert a unicode-value. Cheers, Ingo

	Ingo, Thanks for your reply, maybe QuickPDF still doesn't solve this problem. AddCJKFont function only can add one type of Japanese font. so, I think this cannot solve simply with AddSubsettedFont and GetSubsetString function. Thanks again.
